Mini-kings fit just fine...you will recieve coasters to put under the spool to raise it up.
You have not recieved your Amaya yet? Are you going to training in NJ?

Since I just bought a new Amaya, I have LOTS of mini kings left over and wonder if they fit on this new machine(it's not here yet)!! Also, can someone tell me how to post a question with this group. I am a member and have a user name-password, but couldn't find the page to post a question? THANKS!!

We have been using  Melco poly thread that is six years old and it works
fine.  We also are in a dry climate and it doesn't have a problem. Just
a comment.

I do check the thread path, rollers, needles etc. when I have a
problem.  I always suspect bad thread and will try your test.  I live in

a dry climate but we have been getting alot of rain lately.  I'm
wondering if a change in humidity would cause the rollers and thread to
act differently.  The thread breaks seemed to be happening on every
needle.  Wrapping the thread in a wet sponge is interesting.  Some of my

thread is at least 6mo old, who knows how old it was when it was
shipped.  Maybe we should invent a thread humidor.

Is it on each needle or just one or two? Move your thread to other
needles
to see. The way to check your thread is to take a 2 foot piece and tie
a
tight knot in it. As you pull it very tight does it break at the knot?
If
not then it is likely OK. Check your thread rollers. I change my
rollers
every 150,000 stitches or when I see wax buildup, a cut or groove.
Don't
throw them away if it is just wax. You can clean them up and use them
until
a cut or groove develops. Be sure the needle is seated as high as
possible. 
If you sew with a 70/10 or 65/9 needle make sure you check it often for
bending. High speed and heavy fabrics bend them faster than a 75/11 or
80/12. Be sure your needles are off set counter clockwise about 5
degrees. 
Dollars to donut holes it is either needles or rollers.

My first look would be needles, second (and this is the big one) how
old is
your thread? Has it become dried out? My wife had a similar problem,
I
told her to get a slightly damp sponge and wrap it around the thread
cone
briefly. This worked like a charm :) Don't ask me why I thought of
doing 
it?

Hello,

I have a machine that is 1.5 years old.  It's starting to struggle with
thread breaking problems on designs that sewed fine before and sew fine
on the other head.  It seems to be especially true right now on smaller
stitches.  I'm wondering if it's time to replace the rotary hook.  I
remember all the posts on this subject in the past.  How do I search
for 
that info?

Thanks,
Mike
